Gradual Steps in weight

Superlite and Superkote are designed to be able to be combined to achieve the best strength to weight ratio for optimal performance of your sail.

PU Coated Nylon

Superlite and Superkote series are treated with Contender’s unique polyurethane based coating. This coating is results in high stability, low weight, zero porosity and high water repellency. Increased stability will allow the sail to maintain it’s sail shape under load and over time. Reducing porosity to zero ensures increases light wind performance and the water repellancy keeps the sail as light as possible in adverse conditions and weather.
